A total of 50 students and teachers rolled up their sleeves and donated blood earlier this month at NP3 High’s annual blood drive.
This is equivalent to saving up to 150 lives. One pint of blood can save three lives.
Senior Austin Geordge, who donated whole blood and double red cells, says “Every little bit helps. Donating blood is the least we can do to help others. It’s a very delicate human resource that everyone needs to stay alive and helping them by donating makes me feel good about myself.”
Here are some photos The Pacific Times captured during the event:
